Today I’m talking about the best running shorts to prevent chafing and having to readjust and pull at your clothes while you run. This post is in partnership with Danskin Now.
Hi! This morning I hit the running path for 6 miles and then did some 21 day fix strength work. I’ve been slacking on that because of my yoga challenge. I’m fine with putting that on the back burner for a little bit because yoga has felt so good!
Now let’s chat about the running question I get asked every single week. I love questions because this means you want to know what works for me and all the running and eating I do can help my peeps (you). I’m here to help! Ask me stuff!! I have no one else to talk to besides Vegas, seriously feel free to email me.
(Desperate much Monican?)
Anyway.
The question of the day is “What running shorts are you wearing?” or “Where do you find running shorts in that length!?!”
Yep. I know. I know that the usual running shorts ride up on some people. I know how much thigh chafing sucks. And pulling your shorts down every .02 mile is not fun.
So I wear a tight style short that’s usually between 5 to 8 inches long depending on the brand. I recently found a super affordable version by Danskin Now. I was pretty excited about this.
The ones I’m wearing are Danskin Now Compression Shorts with a 9” inseam. (Note: the image looks like it’s a shorter short but the product description has the info.)
I’ve been wearing these for a long time now and recently a rep from the company contacted me to talk about my favorite Danskin Now gear. Perfect!
They have a ton of great wick-wear for running – tanks, tops and long sleeves.
But they also have fun graphic tanks and burn out cut-off tees.
This one says Running Free but they have a bunch of different workout motivation sayings.
I also got a soft and comfy yoga dog cuddling tank.
It has cute back detail – not so much of a cutout that it’s falling all over the place, just enough that I can pretend I’m cool. (It’s the Women’s Active Crossover Keyhole Tank.) The goal is to wear it for yoga but it was so comfy I work it to hang out with my family yesterday.
This gear is available at Walmart or online. (Puppies not available.)
I have checkout many different companies for their womens running shorts and I do agree that for the price you cannot beat Danskin.
Thanks for chiming in! Yeah running shorts (and other gear) can be so pricey.
No cat cuddling going on here, but both my dogs love to cuddle. But they don’t care what I wear to cuddle with them and truth be told, the only clothes I don’t want to wear when we cuddle are the ones that pick up all the hair!!! So my workout clothes are usually perfect because they not only wick away the sweat, they wick away the shedding hair. 🙂 The things we talk about on your blog…
Ha! I know just a normal convo about sweat and dog hair… 🙂
Neither but I do need to check out the shorts! Chafing is the worst!!
Cat cuddling! I can only wear shorts that are long and won’t ride up or life just really sucks. I think the 2 pairs I have right now are from Target but I’ll have to check these out.
I love Danskin Now products. The bulk of my exercise clothing is Danskin. I love that they come in such a wide variety of sizes and styles…and for such reasonable prices! My favorite weekend comfy pants are also Danskin cotton drawstring pants. They are super comfy and I don’t feel like a total slob if I have to run to the store.
I’m definitely a dog cuddler, although my basset hound isn’t particular about dress code. :O)
Dog cuddling. And If I am going to cuddle my boyfriends dog who sheds a ton it would need to be made out of a material that repels fur lol.
I have a bunch of Danskin Now running gear and love it…and it’s at Walmart of all places! I was so surprised about that but happy at the prices. My mom was a dancer growing up and remembers wearing Danskin for ballet, and now here I am all these years later, loving their running clothes. Great reminder to stock up on more, and to try out their shorts.
